Fresh Pea Soup

Get two medium sized shallots, dice them up and sautee them with 1 clove of garlic.

Once this is cooked thoroughly add 3 cups of fresh (or frozen peas) with two cups of water (or stock). Bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 mins.

Blend and serve away!!

I used chicken stock when I made this soup and I also added some spinach leaves to it. The soup ended up being a little too thick for me once I blended it so I did end up adding water to it. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I can't WAIT to make it again. And there's only 135 calories a cup which is fantastic.

I've already sent this recipe through to my sister and aunt so I'm waiting to hear their reviews of it. I think I actually preferred this to the Carrot & Ginger soup which surprised me.

In other news, my juicer arrived two days ago - hurray!! I've had fresh pineapple, mango and orange juice the last couple of mornings. Soooo good!!
